The Chiefs earned the first overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft with this year’s 2-14 record, so Crennel’s firing is no surprise. The big question facing Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is whether he wants to entrust Pioli with the decision of how to use that first overall pick, which will go a long way toward shaping the Chiefs’ rebuilding effort.

Crennel has had some success as an NFL defensive coordinator, but his head coaching record is 28-55. At age 65, this was surely Crennel’s last chance to be a head coach in the NFL. The 47-year-old Pioli may not be done just yet.

Wow what a joke….how many coaches does Pioli get to hire before he assumes responsibility for what a horrible franchise they are?
Looks like it’s gonna be a long dry run for Chiefs fans….looks like Guy Hunt is gagging on that silver spoon he inherited.

Matt Cassel 6 years/63 million/ 28 million guaranteed/ 40.5 million in his first three years. That contract was worked out after trading a second round pick to New England. This has been Pioli’s legacy so far in KC.

Just dandy. Clark has NO guts. I don’t know what Pioli has over Clark but get rid of him , we will support you. There is NO current or former NFL coach who will come to KC as long as Pioli is the GM. He wants someone who he can intimidate and push around then blame for the Chiefs failures. Pioli did NOT have final say on personnel decisions in New England, Belichick did and Pioli was a small part of the success. Pioli could NOT select a successful first round draft pick on his own if it were sitting at the draft table with him. Pioli refuses to admit his misses in draft picks and free agents (Matt Cassel) at the expense of fans and city of KC. He struts around the facility like he has done something…wait he has. He has conned Clark into keeping him and paying him as well as keeping track of a gum wrapper on the floor for four days.

With no qb even CLOSE to Andrew LUck or RGIII in this year’s draft the Chefs owning the number one pick gets them NOTHING. And quarterback is their HUGE need. Not even any Peyton Mannings available either.

Romeo can coach, just not head coach, he needs to be monitored, he has shown he is diminished in the mental capacity required to be in charge, but as long as someone is looking over his shoulder, checking his work he can be productive
